\JWICE. ^UOCCL !17AL FIFTY /EARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 26, 1931). At a meeting of the Fox Valley federation, a large number of attendants en­ dorsed a plan for beautifying and improving the Fox river from the source throughout its length. The federation plans to have Congressman Frank Reed of Aurora in­ troduce a bill at the next session of Congress, asking for an appropriation of approximately $40,000,000 to carry on the work. The insistent barking of a little black poodle dog led to the discovery of a basement fire which, had it not been promptly extinguished, would have destroyed the building occupied by the Fox Lake State bank and the National Tea company. The fire was put out by the Fox Lake volunteer - fire department with a loss of about $2,000. Miss Eleanor Kinsala of McHenry is the manager of the National Tea store at Fox Lake. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 27, 1941) Vale Adams is now a member of the first class of cadets in the new Air Corps Replacement center (Air­ crew) at Kelly field, Texas. Mr. Adams graduated from McHenry Community high school and attended Lake Forest college for two years. The agriculture students of McHenry high school have organized an F.F A. chapter and elected officers as follows: Frank Martin, president; Richard Conway, vice-president, Robert Anderson, secretary, Harold Michels, treasurer; Leland Berg, reporter; and George Whiting, watch dog. McHenry high school s basketball team opened the season at home by defeating Ela by a 42-24 score. Marion Krause came up wuh one of her super-duper games, a 222 in a 525 series Looks like Betty Regner is heading for ife top Here's a ne >• series 156-1&4165>. - 472. TWE?TTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of November 21, 1956). City engineers were present at the City Council meeting to present final figures on cost of the Elm street widening project. The report will be submitted to the State department for final approval. The city's total cost will approximate $25,000, covering 25 percent of construction cost, extra expenditures for placing sewer and water mains to prevent having to break pavement in the future and $286.29 for laying of conduit for future installation of traffic signal lights. J. A. Hawley, owner of Northern Pump Farms, is reported to have paid a record $l0,n00 for the grand champion Hereford bull at the Royal Agricultural Winter fair at Toronto, Canada. Mr. Hawley is said to have purchased the bull for breeding purposes. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December I, 1971). A tornado signal siren test will be carried out in McHenry on the first Tuesday of every month. The signal, to sound by federal law as a three-to-five minute blast of the siren, will occur at 10:30 a.m. Locally, this automatic signal will be for a three and a half minute duration. If it is heard at any other time it should be considered as a warning of a tornado and immediate shelter should be sought. It was a holly, jolly Christmas spirit that per­ vaded the city park when youngsters by the dozen thronged into Santa's hut for candy and to visit with the red-attired symbol of the holiday. Gary Collins started his first season as sophomore coach with a bang! His stalwarts handed him a holiday present as they easily handled all co» ners in the Kaneland holiday tournament. The Warriors came home with all the goodies in this their first competition of the young season. State General Fund Balance In Big Drop aysjisb'fc balance in the state's General funds on Oct. 31 was $1)2 million, down $6 million from the September month-end balance and >287 million less than the end-of October figui t last year. Comptroller Roland W Buiris has reported. Looking at the urst four months of FY 1;#>2, Burris said that revenues from state sources increased by $10 million over ^he same period lost year, but federal funth >pped $h4 million of 15.4 n-crcent in the first foui monflis of FY '82 While the state ievenuer were up in most ca tegories. Burris noted a decline in corporate taxes, which dropped $18 millioi of 12.6 percent in the period. As to the drop in federal lunds, the comptroller said that the major factor was a $57 million decrease in re.enue shaiinp fund*. Burris said that the state continued to spend more than its income in the first four months of this year, contributing to the drop in the available balance. Specifically, cotal General funds re /e. ues for the first four months were $2,544 billion, $74 million or 2.8 percent below last year. State spending however, totaled $2,629 billion for the four Ti.onth period, an in­ crease of $20 million of 0.8 per« r?nt above last'year's lev ": for the first four months Viie primary reason for that increase was a $33 million -ise 211 public aid grants and a $32 million climb \n operations costs • • • • A smile can do more than money work or words on many occasions.
